Hi guys, I've been attempting to learn the banjo for almost 10 months now and tracking my progress on youtube all the way since day 7.

For those of you who’ve been playing a while, what did you wish you’d focused on around the one-year mark?

Some flat singing here so sorry about that lol, but thought it would be fun to mash theses songs together because they're both sawmill and have olde english origins. Finally getting to a point where I'm happy creating arrangements by ear with a lil syncopation and improv squeezed in there so thought I'd share some progress.

Help How do gourd banjos handle humidity?

I’m going to get one commissioned and I live in the UK.

It’s kind between 30-60% humidity in my house.

started working on this song a year ago now! this is the first song i've learned to sing along to the melody (first one i sang with chords was wish you were here). not sure why but it felt right to me for this tune :)

anyways definitely slipped on a couple phrases in the break, but wanted to document the progress and would love to ask yall for some constructive criticism for the singin n pickin. still trying to find my voice in both so any advice would be very much appreciated!
